reality sets in

it dawned on me today why i caught the attention of the texas ranger on wednesday. i was driving a RED car. my audi is silver ... which apparently has helped keep me under the radar, so to speak, as i've only gotten pulled over once in it during the almost 4 years i have had her. and i talked my way out of that ticket, so it so doesn't count. in addition, most of the rentals i get assigned are colorless, old man sedans ... again, under the radar.

i'll be getting a new car by the end of the year. i really wanted red. but the reality is, i need to blend in as i doubt i'll slow down. kinda sad. i was going to name her maraschino.
